5,000 nuclear power reactors needed: Ritch:

: Mumbai, Mar 13 : With global energy demand steadily increasing, a clean-energy future will require at least 5,000 nuclear power reactors by 2050, producing electricity as well as hydrogen and clean water, according to Director General of World Nuclear Association John Ritch.

"Currently there are around 440 nuclear power reactors in the world generating one-sixth of world's electricity, and promotion of such thousands of nuclear power plants is essential if we are to mount a concerted strategy to avert global warming and green-house catastrophe," Ritch said in the latest issue of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited's (NPCIL) journal Nu-Power.

"Our planet's fragile biosphere is now at risk and history has reached a momentous point where the fate of humanity hinges on whether we can summon the will and the ingenuity to produce clean energy on a massive global scale --- a scale that nations can not realistically hope to attain without an expansive use of nuclear power," Ritch said.
